Static Shield with one res slotted gives 43.93% Psi Res.
Static Shield with three res slotted gives 55.47% Psi Res.
Let us assume that you are being faced with a 500 damage psi attack. With the 43.93% res you will take 347.39 damage. With 55.47% res you will take 321.6 damage. On a larger scale taking a 2000 damage hit will look like this 1389.56 | 1286.42. Honestly, it is up to you. It does not effect it too much. However on big hits, that can be the difference of living the hit or not (100 hp is a difference) I would at least say 2 slotting isn't a bad idea. But if you really need the slots somewhere else, then go for it.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Would that be the stats for a tanker? I'm looking at the stats for the brute on MIDs and it's...about 10% less then that. One slot is 32%, two is 39%, and 3 is 41%.
Considering how rare psychic damage is, I might just leave that one slotted for now. Especially considering that I will have several other forms of mitigation anyways, power sink etc. I plan on four slotting power sink with end mods instead of recharge. I'll keep it one slotted for now, and if psi damage is THAT big of an issue I'll invest in another slot later. Thanks!
So out of curiosity, is it worth slotting static shield with more than one slot? While I have one res in it (End not being an issue), I've noticed that adding in more res slots for the psi resist adds...about 8-9% res? Is that really worth it, or should one just suffice?
